@danielfruth, both skills work the same way, so if you use one of the two Alexa skills - TRIGGERcmd or TRIGGER command, then you'll have to say one of these:
Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run X
Alexa, ask TRIGGER command to run X
If you use IFTTT, it's a more complicated setup, but you get to say something like this:
Alexa, trigger X
I told kent-scherler he could use the TRIGGER command skill because it does avoid saying TRIGGER C M D.
@dramradhel, I wonder if you didn't see the Instructions link on the left because you were logged in using a cell phone browser?
That navigation panel is hidden when you use a cell phone browser.
@jgodney, I'll answer each question by number:
Did you enable parameters on the command you ran from Zapier? Also did notepad open, or did it give you a prompt like this?
Yes - multiple parameters are separated by a space.
No - you can send an unlimited number of parameters, separated by spaces. Actually batch files can accept more than 9 too.
From here I see, "On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters"
@ryan-roberts, you can add a line to that commands.json file like this, to add a command you want to be able to run:
{"trigger":"apt update","command":"apt-get -y update","ground":"background","voice":"update"},
If you find that your changes go away as soon as you save the file, then there's likely some bad json formatting in the file you tried to save. The most common problem is you have a comma on the last line.
@russ ooohhhh see? knew it was a noob question haha unfortunately I do not... Yet!! But now I have a new goal. Thank you so much for the quick response, I can at least rest easy knowing the solution now
@rpondevie, good luck. That's a cool project. I suggest you make your IFTTT URL something like this:
https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=ispy&computer=MyPC¶ms=recordstop.alarmset
Then make a command with these values:
Trigger = ispy
Command = c:\program files\ispy\ispy.exe (probably a different path)
Allow Parameters = true
@mb-nouvel,
Please give me more information, like what type of computers you have. It's working on the first computer, but not the second one? If it's Windows, is it 32bit Windows? Do you have an antivirus program running?
One thing you can try to start over is delete your C:\Users(username).TRIGGERcmdData folder. It will get re-created after you close and open TRIGGERcmd.
